Assuming the system is capable of being accessed both by phone and by a fully-keyboarded device (including, I suppose, a fully-keyboarded phone), then you've got the challenge of authenticating based on either the DTMF tones or the keyboard input. Which means you'd either have to record the hashes both forms (and figure out how to supply the keyboard variant if the initial input is a phone, or allow all compatible keyboard variants), or you're storing the password and comparing the input directly.
